Health education can elevate health literacy, which is associated with health knowledge, health-seeking behaviors and overall improved health outcomes. Refugees are particularly vulnerable to the effects of low health knowledge and literacy, which can exacerbate already poor health stemming from their displacement experience. Traditional learning…

This paper reports on research undertaken in two fully online, asynchronous university courses. Representing two masters' programs, one led to a degree in reading as a reading specialist, and the other, to a degree in special education as an educational diagnostician. This investigation explored how writing conferences helped graduate students to…

Mentoring relationships are among the most crucial forms of developmental support for students in higher education. While mentorship has been widely studied, researchers' conceptualizations and frameworks of mentoring relationships have scarcely been updated with notions of equity-mindedness to meet the needs of today's increasingly diverse…

In sport, coaches often explicitly provide athletes with stable contextual information related to opponent action preferences to enhance anticipation performance. This information can be "dependent" on, or "independent" of, dynamic contextual information that only emerges during the sequence of play (e.g. opponent positioning).…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) involves the interaction and interdependence of students' social and cognitive skills, making it a complex learning process. To delve into the complex dynamics of CPS, previous research has categorized socio-cognitive roles, providing insights into social-cognitive frameworks. However, despite the specific…

Instructors of college level business courses utilize group assignments to stress the importance of collaborative work in professional organizations for students. How instructors determine team formation, whether assigning students to groups or allowing students to form their own groups, could impact the effectiveness of the group regarding their…

Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) has been widely used in K-12, higher education, and informal learning to enhance the quality of student learning. Understanding the relationship between learning engagement and group performance is crucial for CPS pedagogy and analytics. However, few empirical studies investigated individual engagement role…

While well-being and health benefits of nature are increasingly recognized, young people's decreasing contact with nature has raised concerns. The emerging adulthood period is seen as critical for ongoing participation in outdoor recreation. This mixed methods study examines how participation in an outdoor education course, including canoeing and…

How do examiners reach joint decisions when they grade oral examinations? While government and policymakers provide general frameworks about grading decisions, we know little about how they are actually accomplished in interaction, particularly when examiners initially disagree. We scrutinized 29 video-recorded grading conversations between…

As universities shifted to online education with the onset of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, both pedagogy and assessment patterns across disciplines underwent a change, with a shift towards collaborative digital assessments. In this context, using qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection from an assessment…

Research-practice partnerships (RPPs) are gaining international attention as they promise to close the gap between research and practice in education. As RPPs bring together participants with diverse expertise, how people dialogue to collectively learn and address problems of practice is critically important. Analyzing video data from RPP meetings…

Background: Developing teamwork skills is a central objective of engineering education. Psychological safety and conflict management are pivotal components of teamwork, yet despite their significance, research in engineering project-based learning (PBL) contexts is scant. Understanding students' experiences with psychological safety and its…

Caring for others is integral to what makes us human. We have all experienced the care of others that has helped us to survive and thrive, and in turn, others rely on us for care. A pedagogy of care, based on a feminist ethics of care, recognizes the centrality of care in our lives and thus its relevance for education. This pedagogy encourages…

One important dimension of classroom group dynamics & collaboration is how much each person contributes to the discussion. With the goal of measuring how much each student speaks, we investigate how automatic speaker diarization can be built to handle real-world classroom group discussions. We examine key design considerations such as the…

Online collaborative learning has the potential to help learners of all cultures and languages in the artificial intelligence (AI) age. However, studies on the use of human-AI collaboration to promote online collaborative learning are lacking. This study attempts to fill this gap by examining the effects of three approaches to human-AI…
